Klaus challenged by co-accused’s lawyer as murder trial continues
A central Alberta man accused of killing his parents and sister is sticking to his story that his friend pulled the trigger and that he failed to go to police out of fear that he would be next.
Jason Klaus was testifying under cross-examination Thursday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.
He and Joshua Frank each face three counts of first-degree murder in the December 2013 deaths of Gordon, Sandra and Monica Klaus.
Earlier in the trial Klaus told court that he and Frank planned to steal a truck from his father as part of an insurance fraud scheme.
